This is the only way Cruz is winning, but watch for Manafort to come out...

and then there’s this:

so good, I hope every person supporting Cruz enjoys what they have been living thru the past 7-8 years, that’s what your going to get...

I have been thinking that Trump is once again playing 3-D chess but giving the appearance that he is not.

There is no chance that Trump was unaware of what Cruz has been doing in Louisiana and Arizona. Roger Stone says he hasn't been talking with the Trump campaign but I don't believe it for a minute. Stone used to be a partner of Manafort and is keenly aware of how these arcane state rules can be used to steal delegates. And I imagine the Manafort hire has been planned for quite a while.

The question for me is what did Stone and Trump hope to gain by letting the Cruz campaign get its hopes up about LA and AZ.

And what did Stone and Trump hope to gain by appearing dumb to the RNC (because that is exactly what they did by appearing to be unaware of the fine print in delegate count rules in LA and AZ).
